Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why dont they? They killed everyone at the protest. How did those terrorists lose, but magically vanish away their weaponry?
And, also, no, if they had any piece of the weapon they could id its manufacturer.
Matching type is matching manufacturer. Thats what the type is. The manufacturing is the part that makes the gun denting and burning identifiable. Youre pulling this out of your ass because you dont understand how this works.
Lol, god so you admit what I was saying
Yes, I know this, in fact I've been saying it over and over if they had the gun. But no they didn't go around digging through the corpses to find all the data. Again, I get that YOU want them to, but they didn't. And again, this is why China just says fuck you. Because it's none of your god damn business what they choose to do. They chose to sweep up everything as quickly as possible and return things to normal, not go out of their way to hunt the protestors. China isn't as revenge obsessed as Americans.
Bullets are part of the weapon, sweetheart.
I know you think china still shits in buckets, but they arent living in mideval times. They werent a century behind the rest of the world.
And they absolutely dont shrug and excuse a terror attack, thats a fucking laughable claim.
Just admit you made up the terrorists bud
Oh wow, I just realized you optimize American ignorance.
After Tiananmen, the Chinese government realized their mistakes and instead of spending agonizing time to find all the assailants, they decided instead to reform. They spent the next decades doing capitalist reforms and trying to improve everyone's lives after that incident leading to today where China is unquestionably just behind USA.
After Jan 6th, US decided the best thing to do with it's time is to hunt down everyone at the Jan 6th riots. Creating a massive divide in the country. Causing friends and family to turn on each other. Because hunting down the rioters was more important to them than fixing the actual issues at hand.
You see this in the HK riots too. China only arrested the leaders, they let everyone else go. They aren't interested in identify exactly who did what, they know that cutting off the head is enough.
But then, that's the difference between western and eastern thought. Westerners are so individualistic they obsess over every individual. Eastern thought is that if we see something like this, there must be something structurally wrong and we need to fix it.
And I'll say again, after these riots is when China reformed and changed their laws, not hunt down individuals. Where as in the US, the Americans say their laws are absolute and they need to hunt down every individual.
*Edit: And while you may not agree with China's law changes and say they're oppressive, the simple reality is, when China sees structural issues like this, they're open to change.
So you are claiming that after china was attacked by terrorists, they didnt look at all to find out if another attack was coming?
Since, historically, terror attacks happen in waves? Multiple attacks within a few weeks or months?
Youre saying china did zero research or investigation to try and prevent further terror attacks? They were okay with more attacks happening? No attempt to find the ringleaders?
They did find the ring leaders what are you talking about? I literally just said they cut it off at the head and feel that's enough. In fact this is one of the reasons the US keeps claiming China is oppressing people. When China feels it has enough evidence they arrest the leaders. They don't have to pass what US thinks is enough like your personal obsession with ballistics. Thus, the US complains China oppresses it's people. But the reality is China just thinks differently and doesn't want to waste time explaining it to ignorant people.
I'm actually happy we are having this discussion. I would have never realized how different the thinking is without you. Thanks, this is great. Even if you have no idea.
How did they find the ring leaders without the ability to investigate the origins of the weapons? Thats how terrorists are usually caught, via following the weaponry sales.
They couldnt interrogate anyone, they were killed.
How did they find the source if they were incapable of tracking their weaponry?
Wow, so stupid. These were riots. Are you saying we didn't know the leaders of the Jan 6th riots or BLM riots? They literally stood up with megaphones.
No, we didnt. It took 8 months to find the organizers of the jan 6th riots. You called that an individualistic obsessions with revenge just a minute ago, yes? Well without that, the people behind jan 6th would have gotten away free. This was on the news regularly, not sure how you didnt know that.
And no one was ever caught as a ringleader for any BLM protest. At all.
Do you not know how terror attacks work? The people doing the attacking are not the leaders. The leaders do not go to the attack. They stay hidden and plan further attacks.
Did you think that bin laden was on the planes that hit the twin towers???
You know, unlike USA, China arrested their version of Trump. Look up Jimmy Lai. Where as in the US, they're saying the leaders are these people below, in China they say the leader is the one promoting it in newspapers. Which again to your thinking is freedom of speech but also why China doesn't have that. If your promoting the riots, your the leader, not the guy on the ground.
Thats got nothing to do wth your fake terrorists.
E: wait, unless you are claiming that china just grabbed a random person, claimed they were a terrorist leader, and just hoped the real terrorist leader didnt plan any other attacks?
